I wasn't able to go, but here's what my brother had to say:
From even before we arrived, our host, Susan, was in touch and made sure we had access to get in as we arrived after flying overnight. This was a huge bonus, as we were very tired and didn't want to sit around waiting for check-in.
Once we were there, everything we could possibly expect was exceeded in the conditions, cleanliness and the overall setting in this beautiful house.
Cupboards stocked, all amenities available and organized. It was truly unbelievable and felt like we actually had a home in this beautiful area. 20 minutes from beaches, Melbourne center and all the shopping you could want. Plus many restaurants for all tastes.
The layout of the sanctuary is unbelievable, the pool area is gorgeous and in fact, lawn was cut and pool cleaned while we were there.
Truly the greatest part was the meticulous nature of how Susan hosts. Guidelines and considerations to make our trip smooth and eventful were abound with notes and an amazing binder for reference to all things Palm Bay and the surrounding area.
This trip truly was plug and play paradise, greatly made possible by our gracious hostess.
Would not hesitate to return, our only regret is that we didn't have more time to stay.
Thank You so much for everything Susan
